Nameservers: ns1.cantonnetwork.xyz, ns2.cantonnetwork.xyz Registered: 2025-10-19 Page title: Canton Network - Presale HTTP response: 526 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-05-17 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 71b8132ecbb862723a5091900e63b362e845159fe9fdfdd7edb3fe7c798fd0fd ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2025-10-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-14 22:22:00 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-14 19:22:20 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-20 12:52:48 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-15 18:00:00 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e27ee-ced1-7448-b8e4-1591d3653f95/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/882f269a-00f8-46dc-8d81-42298c29e74f Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/cantonnetwork.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.cantonnetwork.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=cantonnetwork.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/cantonnetwork.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/cantonnetwork.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-14 22:22:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies cantonnetwork.xyz as an active brand-impersonation phishing domain designed to deceive visitors into surrendering cryptocurrency or sensitive credentials. The site mimics the legitimate Manta brand, tricking users into believing they are interacting with an official service. This impersonation is not merely generic deception; it leverages the trust users place in the Manta ecosystem, making it a targeted and high-risk threat vector for crypto holders. This domain was flagged with 2 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors detecting malicious activity, indicating low initial visibility but confirmed risk. Registered through Ultahost, Inc. on October 19, 2025, the site uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate and resolves to IP address 45.12.2.67—a combination often used to appear legitimate at first glance. The recent creation date suggests it is part of a rapidly deployed campaign, possibly targeting users during a period of low scrutiny. If you visited cantonnetwork.xyz, stop interacting immediately and disconnect your device from the internet. Do not enter passwords, wallet seeds, or private keys. Scan your device with updated antivirus software and consider revoking any session tokens or API keys that may have been exposed. Report this domain to PhishDestroy and your browser’s safe-browsing tools to help block its spread. Always verify URLs through official channels before engaging, especially when dealing with financial platforms. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260514-1567AC TLS cert SHA-256: 71b8132ecbb862723a5091900e63b362e845159fe9fdfdd7edb3fe7c798fd0fd ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/cantonnetwork.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cantonnetwork.xyz Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
